Trends in Dupilumab-Related Payments to Physicians Across Five Specialties.
Am J Rhinol Allergy
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of California, Irvine, Orange, CA, USA.
Background: Dupilumab was first approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for atopic dermatitis and has since been approved for many other indications. The use of dupilumab has grown, but industry payments to physicians have yet to be explored.
Objective: The study objective is to characterize the change in payments by pharmaceutical companies to physicians for dupilumab-related promotional activities.
Prognostic Impact of the Postoperative Carcinoembryonic Antigen Level after Curative Resection of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer.
J Anus Rectum Colon
January 2025
Department of Coloproctological Surgery, Juntendo University Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.
Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate whether preoperative or postoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) with a new cut-off value is more optimal for predicting long-term outcomes in patients with Stage II/III rectal cancer, and to investigate the effectiveness of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (POAC) based on the CEA values.
Methods: Serum CEA levels were measured preoperatively (pre-CEA) and postoperatively (post-CEA). The area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) was used to determine a cut-off for CEA.
Surgical management of benign tumors of the parotid gland: the advantages of extracapsular dissection compared to traditional surgical techniques.
Front Surg
January 2025
General Surgery III, Department of General Surgery and Medical-Surgical Specialties, University of Catania, AOU Policlinico "G. Rodolico - San Marco", Catania, Italy.
Introduction: Salivary gland tumors represent only 3%-6% of all head and neck neoplasms, and approximately 70% of these tumors are located in the parotid gland. Most of these tumors are found in the more abundant superficial portion of the parotid gland, lateral to the facial nerve (FN). For many years, the location of the facial nerve between the superficial and deep segments of the parotid gland hindered adequate tumor extirpation.

February 2025
Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California, United States.
Transpterygoid approaches to the skull base require dissection of the sphenopalatine artery, potentially compromising the option to harvest an ipsilateral nasoseptal flap (NSF) for reconstruction. In cases where other reconstructive options are limited, it may be necessary to utilize a NSF ipsilateral to the transpterygoid approach. Here, we describe the technique of NSF pedicle preservation with reconstruction outcomes.

Aim: To define the indications and outcomes of intraoperative ablation of hepatic malignancies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study comprises 27 patients (male/female: 19/8; mean age: 56 ± 13) undergoing intraoperative ablation (IOA) of liver tumours between July 2001 and August 2021 for 42 tumours, including colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) (n = 27), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)(n = 14), and ovarian cancer metastasis (n = 1). The mean tumour diameter was 2.
